I do listen to as many types of music as I can, early blues, 60s female singers, grindcore, acid jazz, I could go on and on.
I don't really post here a great deal about half the stuff I do listen to simply because a lot of the time I don't know what I think of most of it. I have no idea what makes a jazz or soul record great other than someone else's opinion. I'm sure with repeated listening I'll work it out in time,
The thing I miss about rock music is just playing an album and listening to it in a totally unbiased way, and that's because I've spent about the last 30 years listening exclusively to rock music. I can't just pick up an album and judge it on it's own. I'll always judge it by what I've already heard.
Listening to other stuff allows me to do that. I can just go to some blog or download site and just keep looking till I find something that looks like it might be interesting.
so that's pretty much how I discover new stuff.
